Post by: bambanx on August 27, 2015, 03:06:59 am

Hello guys, discovering my hasselblad 503 cx i did a mistake with a lens cf 100mm 3.5 , i setted this on f mode and shutted, now the lens is stucked with the aperture open, researching on the manual it say that produce a error on models are not 2000 series, so is any way to reset the lens? the blades are open.

Thanks you.

If you are able to remove the lens from the body, you can take a coin or flathead screwdriver and cock the lens (by twisting the round metal protruding part until the slot lines up with the red dot). That might do it.

Makes sense. If you're firing the camera without film (but with a magazine on), eventually the magazine reaches the end of it's 12-shot length. And you have to remove and re-insert the internal cassette to reset the magazine.
